“I’m open to the possibility,” Phillips told EW.
“I’ve been with Showtime forever.
I did the first four seasons of Dexter and the last three seasons ofNurse Jackie.
As for the finale, Phillips said, “the intent was to tell a complete story.
It’s no secret that the eighth season was very unpopular and dissatisfying to the fans.
I wanted the audience to feel as if we had completed the story.
I guess I was striving for redemption, not in any religious sense.
